[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

President Trump’s simpering fealty to Vladimir Putin and Russia is embarrassing and dangerous.

Illinois stands with Ukraine, and so should the White House.

@tarahkraft Came back on Twitter for a hot second to see the response here (vs Bluesky) and OMG I'm so angry about this for America and the world. I'm beyond embarrassed.

The inbound #66 just arrived at 9:10pm which appears to be the train equipment for #67 8:40pm outbound. @metraUPW @Metra these alerts should be a little more timely on the website and elsewhere.

[Metra UP-W @metraUPW]

UPW train #67 scheduled to depart Chicago at 8:40 pm is delayed in departure due to earlier train striking a vehicle. The duration of the delay is unknown. Metra will update as information becomes available

[Chicago DPD @ChicagoDPD]

Plan Commission approved United Center Joint Venture’s proposed 57-acre PD amendment on the Near West Side, where UC parking lots are planned to be replaced with 9,453 homes, 1,309 hotel rooms, 1.3 million square feet of commercial/retail, parking structures and green spaces.

@StarLineChicago Always incredible how people don't recognize how messaging and word choice can change everything

@el_tracker_chi Is there a longer term plan for an Android app by chance?

[Greg Macek @gmacek]

@itskylelucas The only solace I find is they are remaining active on Threads and Bluesky. But it's so goofy to not even do a final tweet saying "find us on other socials" and instead just quietly update the profile and peacing out.

[Greg Macek @gmacek]

@StarLineChicago And to not even announce they're going dormant but just note it in the profile is such a choice.

It does look like they may keep their sky account going (and probably Threads)

[Greg Macek @gmacek]

@Andrefor40th I hope you can also get answers on why they have also decided to make their main account on this platform go dormant too (noted on their profile this morning)

[Greg Macek @gmacek]

@StarLineChicago That's a bold strategy, Cotton. I'm sure this will only end well for them.

[Greg Macek @gmacek]

@hsrgood Happy birthday 🎂

waited five years to do this

North America is not normal.

[lumberjack "migrate off this platform" wharfie @lumbjackwharfie]

We should violate the parking meter deal and raise a standing militia to defend that decision. This is the biggest-tent political move that Chicago could make.

When you suddenly catch a glimpse of the sheer terrifying productive capacities of the United States, in the form of a brief mention of an infinitesimally small part of its cheese production, which turns out to be an unimaginably vast mountain of pure provolone.
